Lan Fang * * * Republic: Two hundred years ago, the Han people who went south to Nanyang established the first * * * Republic in Asia.

Speaking of the first republic in the history of China, the first thing that comes to mind is the Republic of China, 19 1 1 the republic established after the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911.

However, as early as 140 years before the Revolution of 1911, a group of China people who went south to Southeast Asia established the first * * * Republic in Asia-Doris * * Republic.

Doris * * and the founding heads of China are idolized by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore. Mr. Luo Fangbo is from Shishanbao, Meixian County, Guangdong Province.

Unfortunately, as the leader of China who once dominated Southeast Asia, few people know his legendary story.

During the period of agricultural society in China, Fujian and Guangzhou were sparsely populated, and the land suitable for farming was simply not enough to feed the people in the two provinces.

Therefore, the lives of the people in Fujian and Guangdong are difficult to maintain. In order to make a living, they crossed the ocean and went to Nanyang again and again to make a living.

Founder Luo Fangbo is one of the best. In fact, his real name is Luo Fangbo, and people are used to calling him "Luo Fangbo", so many people think this is his real name.

1738, Luo Fangbo was born in Shishanbao, Jiaying, Guangdong, a poor village at the junction of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

According to "Shi Wen", Luo Fangbo learned literature and martial arts since childhood, and was both civil and military.

Moreover, he is generous and generous, especially like to make friends, which can be described as charming. Luo Fangbo, who studied as a child, was bent on becoming famous, but she was always at the bottom.

In the thirty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong (1772), Luo Fangbo once again lost the rural examination. This time, 34-year-old Luo Fangbo gave up his career completely.

So in May of that year, in order to get rid of the predicament of life, Luo Fangbo bid farewell to his hometown and led a group of Hakka youths to make a living in Nanyang.

Across the ocean to Borneo (now kalimantan island in western Indonesia) rich in gold and diamonds.

As early as 172 1, British navigators had declared that the commerce of Borneo Island had been controlled by China people.

At the same time, China people are also the discoverers of gold deposits in West Borneo. So many people in China are flocking to this place.

After coming to Borneo, Luo Fangbo lived in Kundian. It was not long before he found the place full of danger.

Because of the geographical reasons, the Chinese who occupy this place have formed various organizations similar to the "hometown association", and conflicts often occur between various organizations.

In addition, as a foreign ethnic group, the indigenous people in Borneo are also hostile to the rich in China, discriminating against them and rejecting them, while the East India Company from the Netherlands is eagerly watching.

Luo Fangbo, on the other hand, exerts his special skills, actively contacts local Chinese and indigenous people, and exerts his innate communication skills.

1774, Luo Fangbo gathered "one hundred and eighty people with one heart" to form "Lanfang Club", and later established "Lanfang Company", which is the predecessor of Lanfang Partnership.

Luo Fangbo led Lan to develop gold mines and had his own circle and economic foundation.

Later, Luo Fangbo, in association with Chinese, organized the Villagers' Association, and soon put down the bandits and pirates in Lanla, Wanzhuju and Sifangping.

At this time, Luo Fangbo's team reached more than 30,000 people, more than 200,000 indigenous people joined, and the local Sudan also surrendered.

Lanfang Company has become the largest Chinese alliance in Borneo, with huge manpower, material resources and financial resources, involving mining, agriculture, grain and sugar industry.

1 776, Luo Fangbo changed "company" to "* * * Republic" and established an autonomous government. This year was designated as the first year of Lanfang.

At that time, Luo Fangbo was recommended as king, and Luo Fangbo disagreed with him. Later, the delegates discussed and established the master system of Lanfang, calling Luo Fangbo "the chief of Tang Dynasty" or "the guest of Tang Dynasty".

On the national political system, Doris practiced the * * * system. The state has established complete administrative, legislative and judicial institutions.

The country has a Ministry of Defence, but there is no permanent army. On the contrary, all people are soldiers. Usually scattered throughout the country for production, concentrated defense against the enemy in wartime.

The country is divided into prefectures and counties, and the heads of local administrative organs are elected by citizens at all levels.

As for "major affairs of the country are decided through consultation", it is similar to the parliamentary system that was widely implemented later.

On the generation of national leaders, Lan Fang combined the abdication system in ancient China and created the form of combining abdication with democratic election.

Before the last leader died or stepped down, the next leader was recommended, but whether he can be the commander-in-chief needs the approval of most citizens.

Luo Fangbo became head of state in 19 and died in 1795.

Before he died, he recommended Jiang, who had both literary talent and military talent, as the next general manager. After the election, he really became Jiang's successor leader.

At the same time, an arsenal was established to manufacture all kinds of guns. Lan Fang also vigorously developed education and hired a group of famous Confucian scholars in the Qing Dynasty to teach, which greatly improved the local knowledge level.

The judicial aspect is based on the program of the heaven and earth society, and then revised into universal laws and regulations to promote the rule of law.

In addition, Lan Fang also determined her own national flag, stipulating that all kinds of Hanfu should be national clothes.

Lan Fang Lan Fang and the United States strictly abide by these laws and regulations, which greatly increases their strength and influence.

It attracted many local indigenous tribes to join it, and the power of Lanfang and the state quickly expanded to the whole of Borneo.

Shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Luo Fangbo sent people back to China to see Emperor Qianlong, demanding that West Borneo be included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty or become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

This is because Luo Fangbo is from China after all, and he still wants to be recognized by his hometown people.

First, I want to find a strong backer to resist the invasion and expansion of Dutch colonists.

The short-sighted Emperor Qianlong simply didn't want to pay attention to these "China abandoned people" and refused to recognize this country established by Chinese in Nanyang.

Luo Fangbo had no choice but to request the establishment of trade relations before Qing Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty agreed.

Lan used this to create the illusion that he had become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Temporarily fooled the invading Dutch colonists.

However, the Qing Dynasty soon declined, and the two Opium Wars exposed the essence of its external strength and internal weakness.

The Dutch realized the weakness of the Qing Dynasty and began to invade Lanfang unscrupulously.

1884, the Dutch used the Sino-French War to invade Doris.

On the one hand, Doris * * and the people of China loyal opposition under the leadership of the commander in chief. On the one hand, send someone to ask the Qing dynasty to send troops to support.

However, at this time, the Manchu dynasty had no time to support the country built by the people of China.

In the end, the weak Doris Republic was destroyed by Dutch colonists.

Today, there is still "Lanfang University" in Dongwan Road in Indonesia to commemorate Luo Fangbo, and there are also memorial halls, cemeteries and various temples in Kundian to commemorate Luo Fangbo.

In East Lv Wan and West Kalimantan, there is a "White Tomb of Luogongfang" covering an area of tens of square meters.

The two China watches in front of the tomb are always announcing the legendary life of the tomb owner to the world.
